how to mount a DLT 7000 tape

[vramesh]

Hi,

We are using veritas netbackup. I want to dump

I want to take remote backup of Y server's /root and another 4 filesystems in one tape (DLT). The autoloader is connected to X server.

I tried ufsdump 0ucf <XserversIPaddress>:/dev/rmt/1 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0

it works fine for me.

and again I've mounted tape by giving
mt -f /dev/rmt/1 fsf 1

and instructed to take dump of one more filsystem
ufsdump <XserversIPaddress>:/dev/rmt/1 /dev/dsk/c0t0d9s0

it is being overwritten and when I try to restore it shows the contents of /dev/dsk/c0t0d9s0

Can any one help me how to mount a tape and what is the detailed procedure to make it successful.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
V Ramesh

Use /dev/rmt/1n instead. That way you won't have to fast forward the tape either. The &quot;n&quot; means that the tape will not be rewound after each operation. Then you can use mt rewind at the end.
